Shameless Self Boasting

December 7, 2008 By 1 Comment

Been feeling extra sexy and had an extra swagger in my strut the last few mornings, and not just because my Saskatchewan boys always make me feel like the Westcoast Goddess with all their great big bear hugs and shameless flattery (which is of course encouraged).  So what is the cause of the titillating spirit that is embracing my sense of being?  The Best of 604 Awards hosted by the sexy Miss 604 herself, in partnership with sixty4media, 6s Marketing, the Arts Club Theatre Company (always a lover of theatre, having grown up in one), The Cellar (I do love my jazz and these kids know how to deliver it), Kiss My Face (love the name of this company, thinking their products must be checked out and potentially highlighted on Sexy in Van City), Mount Seymour (aka one of Van City’s coolest winter date venues), Howie’s Bistro & Bar (a recipe for romance), Social Bites (an excellent way to meet new people while teasing the taste buds), Canuck & Beyond (‘The good old hockey game.  It’s the best game of the year…’), Sheila Christie (& her fabulous LunAria Designs), Magic Woodworks (being a tree hugger, wood has always been ultra sexy in my mind), and Funchico (aka ‘Funky, Chic & Cool’, because every geek’s laptop should be accessorized).

The Van City community has recently nominated their favourite blogs for The Best of 604 Awards … and drum roll please…… WE WERE NOMINATED FOR ONE!!!!!!  We’re nominated in the category of Best Group Blog or Multi-Author Site.  There are many other great blogs in the category that we’ve been nominated in, including:

There are also many of our favourite Van Sexy blogs in the other Best of 604 categories.  Go check them out and vote by midnight on December 10th PST.  If you are around on December 11th, you should come to the awards reception at The Cellar, just make sure you RSVP. Admission is by monetary donation to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank.

Thanks for putting this on Rebecca!

forgot to upload this one by miss604.

With love,

Emme

Many of these nominees are Van Sexy Guys and Gals.

Included in this list under the guys are:

And under the gals are:

New for Summer - the Miss604 Tank by miss604.

Obviously it comes as no surprise just how many oh so hot gals are on this list.  We definitely haven’t been keeping it a secret as to just how firey we find the women in Van Cities Digi Community.  Oh and if I happen to miss any Van Sexies, please let me know.

Now GO VOTE!  And don’t dawdle as voting closes at 11:30 pm (I think this is Eastern time) on Sunday August 31st.

Sexily yours,

Emme Rogers

Sexy & Savvy Tech Women Bridging Media

March 15, 2008 By 3 Comments

My dear readers,

Rumor has it that Van City’s sexy and savvy tech women are at it again – this time Bridging Media! In essence, they are aiming to break down any barriers of communication between the broadcast world and the technology community, get them to speak the same language by exploring each others processes, and finally to play nicely in the sand box, building the future of media together. These women certainly have balls, and I for one, don’t think they can be accused of not knowing how to use them!

According to my sources, this ballsy scheme was set into action from a series of conversations between Megan Cole, Boris Mann and Kris Krug of Raincity Studios, Erica Hargreave of Ahimsa Media, and Brian Schecter of Puddleduck Productions in the fall. As these cats were talking, it became apparent that there was an obvious disconnect in the understanding of broadcast process verses that of the digital world and to truly embrace the future the two communities needed to be working together.

Bridging Media

Megan Cole and Erica Hargreave have run with this initiating Van City’s first ever Bridging Media event on March 29th of this year. Boris Mann, Kris Krug, and Brian Schecter have been joined by Mark Greenspan on the gals advisory team. And as beautiful, sexy and smart women often do several other of Vancouver’s sexiest and savviest tech women have been drawn into the organizing mix, including Cinci Csere, Monique Trottier, Carol Sill and Monica Hamburg. Rumor even has it that the sultry Miss 604 will be live blogging the day.

From this gals perspective, the day is shaping up quite nicely with a panel of speakers that are none too sore on the eyes, including Ravi Singh of The Knowledge Network, Gary Marcuse of the CBC, Canadian Screenwriter Mark Leiren-Young and many of our lovely tech boys and sexy tech gals, who promise to be sharing secrets on industry, success, funds, and broadcast future! And you do know how I like secrets! It would also seem as though I am not the only one that feels that these women are up to something special. It appears that they have attracted in nextMEDIA, The Centre for Digital Media, The Knowledge Network, BC Film, OneDegree, Finale Editworks, and Now Public as sponsors. These companies know a good thing when they see it.

Oh and one final rumor from the event (probably shouldn’t divulge this one, as I’d personally like to win it) – I’ve heard they’re giving away a free pass to nextMEDIA to one lucky participant!

So shall we make it a date for March 29!?!

Emme
